	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 31, Machado.  National Boys and Girls Club Week.
   This measure would designate April 9, 2000, through April 15,
2000, as National Boys and Girls Club Week.




   WHEREAS, The National Boys and Girls Clubs have more than
2,500,000 members; and
   WHEREAS, In every child there is hidden talent just waiting to be
discovered; and
   WHEREAS, Boys and Girls Clubs provide the inspiration and the
direction to nurture this talent, to help children develop
self-esteem, to build lasting friendships, and to learn the valuable
skills, values, and knowledge they need to become the productive and
fulfilled citizens of tomorrow; and
   WHEREAS, When time is taken to provide a young person with
confidence, education, and opportunity for personal growth, an
investment has been made in the future of America; and
   WHEREAS, This investment has been made possible by the dedicated
efforts of the thousands of volunteers, community leaders, and staff
members of the more than 1,900 Boys and Girls Clubs across our
nation; and
   WHEREAS, Each one should be praised for its caring commitment and
shining faith in America's boys and girls; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature designates April  9, 2000,
through April 15, 2000, as National Boys and Girls Club Week; and be
it further
   Resolved, That the Legislature commend all those who work in the
Boys and Girls Club and who put the needs of our children first
because their work is, indeed, an inspiration to all who seek to
improve our world; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
